Zhishan Garden
Just south of Tianmu's Yangming Hospital and a few blocks east of the Zhishan MRT station sits one of our favourite Taipei parks, a jungle-filled mountain just north of the Shuangxi River (also a lovely park in its own right). It's filled with gardens and shrines and the top of the mountain has a temple dedicated to a much-revered sage and general called Chen Yuan Kwang, who lived 1500 years ago. Though the temple itself is lovely enough, more interesting still are the statues surrounding it – carved stone representations of characters well known to anyone familiar with the Chinese classic Romance of the Three Kingdoms. And what really makes the climb worth it is the…

Yuanching Temple
This splendid southern-style temple (元清觀; Yuánqīng Guàn; founded in 1763), just a bwah bwey throw away from the Confucian temple, was under repair at the time of writing. When it reopens check out the elegant rooftop swallowtail eaves and the wealth of fine interior woodcarvings.

Yong Ming
This kitschy little place on a small alley off the main Nanjing E Rd hub is a rare find indeed. Traditional Thai dishes such as lemon fish share the menu with more traditional Chinese fare such as Kung Pao chicken and hybrid items such as dragon balls (long zhu), a dry deep-fried squid mouth served with green onion, garlic and hot pepper. Alas, there's no English menu, though courteous staff will be happy to help you choose your food. We've saved the best for last: self-serve all-you-can-drink Taiwan beer on tap; NT$199 buys you three hours of unlimited refills of the local brew.
